From the OGTAG founders: We hope you, your families and colleagues are safe during these ever changing times.

Given most companies are working remotely due to COVID-19, we will suspend all in-person meetings until further notice. The April 14th OGTAG Houston meeting will be postponed as well as the launch of OGTAG Denver planned for April 2nd.

OTC has been pushed to Q3. We will be in touch with all members and volunteers in the coming days about participation in the OGTAG booth and reception.

Despite delays, we are still making progress, taking calls with O&G companies, government officials and others to discuss the industry’s important work. The OGTAG Advisory Board will hold its first meeting virtually during the next few weeks!

We are committed to equipping the industry to advance human rights by combatting the global epidemic of human trafficking by sharing our mission with media outlets to keep the public informed!
